The highly anticipated 2025 Girl Scout Cookie season has commenced, bringing excitement but also bittersweet news for cookie enthusiasts. According to the USA Today and other sources, two beloved flavors, Girl Scout S'mores and Toast-Yay!, will be retired at the end of the season. This decision follows a review process as the organization aims to innovate its flavor lineup.

Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) announced the decision to discontinue these flavors, stating, "Discontinuing Toast-Yay! and Girl Scout S'mores may lead to something new and delicious," which raises hopes for exciting additions in the future (CBS News). The S'mores cookie has been part of the lineup since 2017, while Toast-Yay! made its debut in 2021.

Despite the retirement news, fans of Thin Mints, Samoas, Peanut Butter Patties, and several other classic varieties need not despair, as these cookies will still be available for purchase. The cookie season officially runs from January through April, but local councils may set different start dates. For local availability, customers can visit www.girlscoutcookies.org to find booths near them.

The Girl Scout Cookie program is an essential part of the organization, providing girls with valuable skills in areas like money management, decision making, and leadership development. With each box sold, props go towards funding local troop activities such as camps and service projects, allowing girls to make a positive impact in their communities (SFGate).

As the 2025 season kicks off, fans are encouraged to stock up on S'mores and Toast-Yay! cookies while they last. After this season, their favorite flavors will be one less in the lineup.
